Dr.&a POST don't knowwhether you think it strange or not that, I bave,not written to you beforeo4 . %M tn I le ft home I determined +144. vitnittato!„ fall intiititaktainafieror thittfliiifly sr my is have Inwntatg tor the public readei4iirrEnmo*;thaelfeacii their ears, whether it belinini not, ari~ I know that the best method to keep my dete;inination was by not writing at all—consequently my correspondence heretofore has been of an entirely private character. As the recent didaster forms a sad theme for discussion at home, , it may not be nnintereitifig to - your readers to have an opinion from the army from an authority that it is as . re spectable at least as any "intelligent con traband," whose statements are so dili gently end - regularly laid before the public. I have reflected upon the subject of which intend writing impartially and cal nly, and liope that your readers will believe that' I am not alone in thinking as I do. In a military point of view I have no right to an opinion, but being a volunteer soldier *I claim that my right as an American citi zen is intact and justified me in writing down my honest conVictions. In the army , there is no doubt that the battle of • Fredericksburg was a terrible disaster, and that it was the result of a great blunder. In effect it is raplidly de metping the idea that the wiar cannot and will not be ended by fighting; that , the contending parties: must eventually realize the horror of the conflict andcome to some 'amicable settlement of strife, or else foi eign intervention will accomplish what we refuse to do. 2he Federal army is com posed of brave dashing men, and will al ways follow where their commanders lead, but with such a conviction as I have stated how can the efficiency of the army be, pre- I served'? Great diaasters do not generally incite to greater deeds of heroism. This much by way of introduction. . While believing that - ourl President is 'honest in his purpose to secnre a speedy and happy settlement of the war, he has so' far proved a melancholly failure. He lacks the morel curcage to form a policy and carry it out in spite of the radical ele ment of his party, and yielda "here'alittle and there a little" tor the purpose of pre serving the unity of his party instead of the unity of the country. His removal of Gen. McClellanis - a melancholy proof of this fact, and in bitterness of spirit must Our people at home confess it. No Gen— eral can ever command the confidence of this army as McClellan did; for while it idolizes him they simply respect our pres- Mit commander„--If President Lincoln -was a wise man he would immediately place McClellan in command, and see that no one in any way hiterfeieA with his mil itary plans. This is the speediest way to end the war, The treatment of our soldiers is another cause of complaint against; "the powers ,thatbe." - Transportation is so' mach cut down in the army now that the soldier is more a betuit of burden than a human be- Mg. Rations ore too often irregularly issued to the men, and they dare not mum mur lest they be punished ,for mutiny.-- Clothing,_too, is too freqdently delayed until the men cannot go upon duty ;be cause of their nakedness. I will scarcely be believed when I tell you, that I saw thousands of our troops go into the recent 'battle ragged and tarefooted—yet such is the deplorable fact. Much as you read of the destitution of. the rebel army, I am compelled to say that I did not see a tan gle,pridoner taken in the recent battle thatmas not comfortably'clothed and shod and provided with a well filled haversack. Therein no reason why our army should' not be abundantly- supplied with rations and clothing, and the °tidy explanation why it is not that I can give yon,, is the cupidity of those who are placed in com mand ofthose departmenta. Lam aware of gamut instances in this Left Grand - Di •Jn . 7- t Er. It( of Conir- Vert of Jonitnissaries and Quartermesters, but it would be of no interest or avail to specify. Those in power in Washington cannot tail to be posted in regard to these matters, and it they ;would pay more attention- to.the interests of their country then:theiepockets the.evil would very speedily ..be.remedied. ...If the army is expected to ,fight,,welt and endilie the privations - and !exposure' of a - Soldier's life, it should: be well supplied with every thingthat hi promised them as king as the conntryis able, and willing to Icirnish the means. _ In connection with , this matter / is the dihtarinesv of Abe :governinent; in rept= • "14Yloa t rng the troops „the, pittance , for which;ey. are eacrificingrtheir-health,,, livesand All the comforts and Andearmente Of hOme.

The reason is they have an interest in the speedy ending of the war—they 'desire to fight it out quickly, that they may return to their respective avocations and families, while the "regulars" have their interests the other way. I have already said that a volunteer his bat little show out here. The Colonel of a Pennsylvania regiment was lately dis missed from the service for drunkenness, although his - surgeon testified before the court-martial that on the day complained of, he had administered to the Colonel a large dose of Opium.

The Lynchbug Republican of _Thursday states that a body of 6 . ,000 Union cavalry; ccimposed of one Pennsylvania regiment and. others unknown, have destroyed nine miles of the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, burning the important bridges over the Rolston and Watawga rivers, and capturing 200 rebel cavalry who were guarding the forther. The Republican says it will' take several weeks to repair the damages, at a time when the road is taxed to its" utmost capacity. It charac terizes the Yankee raid of nearly one hun dred miles as one of unexpected daring and audacity. Is there any Difference? The President orders the execution of thirty-seven Indians in MinnEsota for murdering women and children their savage warfare. This was right and, his action‘Will receive general applause. ' B ut stop I He immediately issues a proclama tion calling upon three million of barbar ons negro slaves to rise in insurrection, he knowing that such rising is always ac companied with the murder and ravish ment of women and the sliughter of children and other non-combatants. He commands the army and navy of the Uni ted States to do nothing to reprise any means the negroes !nay take to-recover their freedom! Why should he hang In dians for doing in Minnesota what ..he wants the negroes to do in the South?- _ Inquirer. Condition of the Released Slaves The Cincinnati Gazette gives a deploya, ble account of the condition of the runa way and released slaves on the rivers low. It says the number of colored per at the different stations from Cairo to Helena, and including these, with Cor inth and Grand Junction, is thought to be from 15,000 to 20,000, although it is con stantly varying at each point. A large proportion of these are old and infirm, and women and young children, a large pro portion of the:able bodied negroes being taken into the interior whenever. our ar mies approach. The Government has done what it oould to provide for. their wants, but they are huddled in barracks and shed 3, built of green timber, ithich, from its shrinking, leaves them greatly ex posed to the cold, and with but a scanty supply of clothing and bedding. The want of.ahelter, of olothixtg, of bedding; of prOper food even, will send them to the grave by hundreds before spring, unless relieved. New 'York Preachers and the Pro° lamation. The emancipation proclamation was the theme of many of the pre.actiers of New York and Brooklyn on' Sunday. Bev. Henry Ward Beecher delivered a sermon on the proclamation and the duties of Christians in .regard to it, at. Plymouth Church-Jae urged-that, ail-other poltey should now. stand .and the 'struggle' be fought out. He commended the bra ovum as superior to the North. His remarks were received with applause. 11 Rev.

' Asa - nation we diadlorever debarred ourielies froin ing any -credit for the act, and to God alone the praise was due. Dr. Cheever stated that'on the presentation of the tne morial of the clergymen of New York to the President, which was to the effect that God demanded that the proclamation should be issued, Mr. Lincoln remarked thatit was finite n new ,thing for him to, - receive a deputation , from God Almighty, and he wouidlike to• have the:clergy take the affairs of the nation into their hands, as they were infallible and clothed with omnipotence.
